You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

resolving merge conflicts with magit-ediff

Use magit-ediff to resolve merge conflicts

Use magit-ediff or 'e' on an unmerged item to resolve merge conflicts with ediff. Magit will set up an ediff with three buffers A, B and C. A and B are the original (conflicting) files, and C is the conflicted merge.

Use 'n'/'p' to move to the next/previous conflict, use 'a'/'b' to choose which changes (those in a A or B) should be the ones to keep in the merged file.

You can always just switch to buffer C and edit what the merged version should look like.
